I've built a PC with the following components:

- Corsair Builder Series 600W power supply
- Corsair Carbide 300R case
- Corsair H60 liquid CPU cooler
- Kingston HyperX 2x4GB RAM
- Kingston HyperX 120GB solid state drive
- Asus F2A55-M LE motherboard
- AMD A10-5800K processor
- Radeon 7660D graphics (integrated)

The motherboard and CPU come from my old build. I screwed the motherboard in place with the CPU already installed. Then I installed and plugged the SSD in to the power supply and motherboard.

Then I plugged in the cables from the power supply on the motherboard (the big one which goes on the right hand side, and the 8-pin one which splits in two, which I plugged in the top left 4-pin connector).

Then I connected the system panel cables (minus the HD audio one which I don't know what to do with, and a big USB 3.0 one which I don't think is compatible with my mobo) and finally I installed the liquid CPU cooler and plugged in the cables for it (which appears to have left me with no room for the front case fan's cable).

I'm pretty sure I've got those system cables in right, I looked at my motherboard's manual online and I don't see how I could've done it wrong.

When I turned on the switch at the plug and then the power supply, the light on my mobo lit up and I thought I was good to go, but when I pressed the case's power button, nothing happened.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but I tore apart my old build without thinking and threw away some stuff, so am I missing something? Did I break something with static electricity or heavy-handedness?

I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated :)
